enSplit LRU documentationhttp://www.surriel.com/node/284
<p>Earlier this week I updated the <a href="http://linux-mm.org/PageReplacementDesign">Split LRU VM</a> design document a little. Seemed like a good idea to tell people about it, since that page is not seen that often and I do get questions about Split LRU on a regular basis :)</p>

<p>Hunk #5 succeeded at 1186 (offset -5 lines).</p>
<p>At least, that's what it claimed. Turns out that hunk of the patch was not actually applied, meaning there's a silent failure mode in patch. Check the <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450420">bug report</a> for details. Now I know how I lost this piece of code during a previous forward merge. Ugh...</p>

<p>For the past year I have been working on and off on a code base to make Linux memory management, specifically the pageout code, scale better to very large amounts of memory. The code has been stable for months and it is time to get wider testing, both by getting it merged into the -mm kernel and by making split LRU <a href="http://people.redhat.com/riel/splitvm/">kernel RPMs for Fedora 9</a> available on my people.redhat.com page. Let me know how they work for you.</p>

<p>Kernel patches are changes to the Linux kernel. Curious about how the Linux kernel works? Read more at the <a href="http://kernelnewbies.org/">Linux Kernel Newbies</a> web site.</p>
<p>After the introduction of a distributed version control system, Linux kernel development is going a lot smoother and there is little need to keep patches on this web site. However, larger projects tend to need feedback from testers and I will use this page to ask for input.</p>
